Grow up in a farming family makes Dr. Lillie Fears understand more about agriculture

Lillie Fears, professor in Journalism department in Arkansas State University, has been working for ASU for 21 and half a years, grew up in a farming family, where there are cotton, soy bean and wheat. Lillie once published one article about science JournalismWhen she was young, she used to pick cotton by hand. Later on, her father stopped producing cotton and started producing soy bean because soy bean is more profitable and more in demand.
The most difficult thing Lillie and her family has ever met is the weather. Sometimes everything is ready such as the seeds and equipment, but there is no rain. "Weather concerns farming," Lillie said.
